At WorldRemit we’re constantly looking for ways to make it easier to move and manage your money. We regularly ask for - and listen to - our customers’ feedback on what they want from their money transfer company. With this invaluable knowledge, we fine-tune the service we offer you and introduce more and more features to our service.

Here are just a few that could make all the difference to the way you use WorldRemit.

1. What's new with WhatsApp?

Do you use WhatsApp to stay in touch with family and friends? Well, now you can get instant notifications on the status of your WorldRemit transactions via WhatsApp – as well as getting SMS and email messages.

We’re the first online money transfer company to offer this. And we’re doing so because WhatsApp is a highly reliable and convenient messaging service. Plus, we wanted to offer you even more choice of ways to hear from us.

So WhatsApp is now available to our customers in over 145 countries.

Here’s how it works

You can only opt-in for WhatsApp notifications on the website and mobile app

You can opt in to receiving WhatsApp messages via the confirmation screen once you’ve completed your transfer, or on the settings page at any time

2. Live exchange rates straight to your phone

Great news! You can receive exchange rates on a daily basis for a specific currency using our app. We’ll send you a notification every day to tell you how the rate’s looking. So it’s easier than ever before to decide when to make your transfer.

But you do need to download our app. If you don’t have it - simply visit the Google Play store or App Store to download it today.

Here’s how it works

Once you have the app, click on the icon 'My Account' in the low right corner

Click on 'Settings'

Select 'Notifications' - where you can add, remove and pause FX notifications
